I am a hot dog fanatic. I search the Yoop for a great dog. Chicago style, or Coney dog, doesnt matter. Love them all. In the Yoop, you can even find venison dogs. I dont care what parts are used to make the hot dog, either. At home, I go all beef.
Rant:
Why in the name of all thats holy, cant the manufacturers and sellers of hot dog buns learn how to slice the damn buns?
The slice is always off center. Or too shallow. Or too deep. A crappy slice job detracts greatly from the hot dog experience! Often this causes the assembled dog to fall apart. When trolling the bun aisle, I found unsliced buns!
Eureka! If you a job done right, slice it yourself! But the unsliced cost almost a dollar more a bag! All I yearn for is a reasonably priced, properly sliced bun.
When, oh Lord, when?

Enjoy the delightful music. I hear the machine is available for purchase.LOL

Have you tried Martin’s? A premium product.

No Martins up here, AFAIK. But I will look for them. They look good!

You can thank me later.

If you like chili dogs, top sliced is the only way to go.

If that impacts your bottom line considerably, you should re-evaluate a number of things in your life.

Top sliced? Genius!

The top sliced buns are the cat's meow (that means it's a good/great thing).

Just stuff the dog down in the slit and pour on the condiments or, if you're a heathen, stuff the condos in before the dog.

Either way, the top sliced buns are great and it's all we buy.

That was funny. Maybe someone could post a video of the hot dog making process. That would help solve his dilemma as well.

I lubs me some Wonder Bread buns.

Or is that; white bread buns.

A buck is a buck. I’ll just buy the regular sliced and turn it so the slit is up and pretend I’m eating the more expensive bun. I like a steamed or toasted, grilled bun.

The Chicago dog is my favorite, poppyseed steamed buns! # 1!

Have you tried shopping at the Day Old breadstore?? Some real bargains to be had! Dented cans of spam as well...

I’ll pass on the dented cans. I’ve seen green fuzzie stuff weeping near the dents. I do find good buys at the dollar store.

I agree that the Martins potato hotdog bun are the best in the nation. Premium stuff. Pretty expensive too, like $3.69 a pack, about twice the cost of store brand buns. But they are worth it.

New England style hot dog buns....problem solved



Stood up to getting loaded with whatever, easy to open.

New England Style? Thats news to me.

This is clearly a first world problem. My biggest gripe of hot dog buns is that the manufacturers are now making them too small and that many of the hot dogs are clearly too long for the hot dog buns.

well, New England does seem to be the only place you can reliably find the top split buns.

Not only are they superior for filling and holding, but when buttered and grilled on the sides they reach new levels. Just couldn't have a lobster roll without them.

This is saddening for me. Lots of better bun choices exist, but none in the Yoop. We truly are in the sticks.

The New Egland style are the best. A little butter and toasted before adding your hot dog. They work well for dogs, brats, and sloppy joes.
